I know that there is a "All Nation Coins and Stamps" in Vancouver. Are there any other major ones in the Greater Vancouver Area?

Apparently there are so many online stamp stores listed on the Stamp Association website. Is there one that is usually recommended for new collectors?

Thanks!

Thank you Tom Swift.
Given that you visit Canada from China, what types of Canadian stamps (for example commomoratives, antique, modern) do you focus on? I am new to stamp collecting, and I am willing to check out the different fields in stamp collecting.

I am quite boring, compared to most collectors on this board. My goal is to fill my five volume Davo hingeless stamp albums with VF mint Canadian stamps, one in each space. I don't care about if the stamp is hinged or not. I am down to the first three pages of the first volume of the stamp album and will slowly purchase as much as I can afford. I buy the quarterly packs from Canada Post every year as well as supplements for the albums from FvHStamps. I will probably switch over to used at some point since many of the stamps I way are way out of my reach financially. Very boring compared to so many other collections but I like the clean look of everything and the idea of completion. I plan on posting some pages her one day.

I am also slowly working on a project, where I got a copy of an old Scott Canadian album with the mountie on the front that ends at 1979, the same type of album that I first got in 1979. I plan to fill it with cheap used stamps.

I would like to get into Chinese stamps but it is pretty scary. There is an extremely active trading market here but I am hampered by language and the realization that forgeries abound. Will start my Chinese collection slowly.

I think there is another dealer in downtown Vancouver but I am not too sure. Surprised nobody else has chipped in with any other dealers in Vancouver. Is there just the two?

I buy from Frank (FVH) regularly, he's knowledgeable and honest.
He has auctions weekly on Saturdays, with good worldwide material, and special depth of Canadian stamps.

Today, just bought Germany 1935-1947 almost complete mint at the weekly St. Lawrence Flea Market in Toronto and for a better price than I've seen on ebay. Have also purchased some nice stamped post card collections for very reasonable prices. In short, flea markets are worth checking out once in a while.
